Burnley Fc on This Day BURNLEY FC ON THIS DAY History, Facts and Figures from Every Day of the Year PHILIP BIRD CONTENTS Foreword by Alastair Campbell 7 Acknowledgements 9 Introduction 11 January 13 February 37 March 59 April 81 May 105 June 125 July 139 August 155 September 171 October 189 November 211 December 233 BURNLEY FC ON THIS DAY JANUARY 13 Burnley FC: On This Day WEDNESDAY 1st JANUARY 1986 The Clarets came from behind to beat Wrexham 5-2 on New Year’s Day at Turf Moor. Phil Brignull and Brian Mooney scored for the Welsh side inside the first 21 minutes to put them two up. Tommy Cavanagh’s side fought back to be level ten minutes later with goals from Alan Taylor and Ray Deakin. It was Deakin’s first goal for the club. Burnley were the better side in the second half. Midfielder Paul Comstive, who would go on to play for the Clarets, was sent off at 2-2. Goals from Neil Grewcock and Derrick Parker (2) reflected home superiority. Centre-forward Parker had returned to Turf Moor after spells at Barnsley and Southend United. He had previously played for the Clarets in the First Division. MONDAY 1st JANUARY 2018 Johann Berg Gudmundsson’s first goal of the season looked to have given Burnley a precious point at home to Liverpool but the Clarets were cruelly denied by an injury-time winner from Ragnar Klavan. It was the Estonian’s first ever Premier League goal. Jurgen Klopp’s team had taken the lead when Senegal international Sadio Mane picked up a deflected Trent Alexander-Arnold cross and fired past Nick Pope in style. Gudmundsson’s goal came three minutes from time from a deflected Charlie Taylor cross that had been headed on by substitute Sam Vokes. The Icelandic international headed home from close range. Sean Dyche’s team were denied when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s cross was headed towards goal by Dejan Lovren. His central defensive partner Klavan got the last touch with a diving header. SATURDAY 2nd JANUARY 1960 Burnley won 5-2 on a muddy Boleyn Ground pitch. Ian Towers deputised for the injured Jimmy McIlroy. Striker Ian Lawson was the hero with two goals. He got the opener but it looked set to be a tight match when Welshman Phil Woosnam got an equaliser. Woosnam had left his job as a physics teacher to play for the Hammers before emigrating to the United States where he took on the role of NASL commissioner. Harry Potts’s team took control before half- time with goals from Brian Pilkington and John Connelly. Lawson and Connelly scored again in the second half. Noel Cantwell had converted from the spot to make it 4-2. Burnley were second in the First Division, ahead of local rivals Preston North End on goal average. Tottenham Hotspur were three points clear at the top. 14 January MONDAY 2nd JANUARY 1978 Burnley pulled off a massive shock by winning 2-1 at top-of-the-table Bolton Wanderers. Harry Potts’s team were bottom of the Second Division and went to Burnden Park as rank outsiders. Bolton had only dropped one point at home all season and a big holiday crowd of 26,000 were stunned when the Clarets took a surprise lead in the 11th minute. Paul Fletcher and Terry Cochrane combined to send Brennan away and he finished in style past Jim McDonagh. It was 2-0 just after half-time. Tony Morley was fouled just outside the box. Brennan smashed the free kick round the wall and into the Bolton net. It was Brennan’s sixth first-team goal and all of them had been away from Turf Moor. Neil Whatmore, who would later play for Burnley, got a consolation for Bolton. MONDAY 3rd JANUARY 2005 Gary Cahill scored his only Burnley goal in a 1-0 win at Stoke City. Cahill had joined us on loan from Aston Villa ahead of the League Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur in November 2004. The 19-year-old got on the end of a Tony Grant corner to force home the winner. Ade Akinbiyi, Wayne Thomas and Gifton Noel-Williams all played for the Potters that day. They would all move to Turf Moor later in their careers. Sheffield-born, Cahill extended his loan spell at Turf Moor until the end of the season and picked up Player of the Season awards. Cahill later moved to Bolton Wanderers and Chelsea. He made his England debut in September 2010 at Wembley against Bulgaria. SUNDAY 3rd JANUARY 1988 Andy Payton made his full Football League debut and scored in the first minute of a 3-1 derby win for Hull City against Leeds United in front of 15,000 fans. Alex Dyer and Richard Jobson got the other goals. Payton had been released by Burnley at the age of 16, in 1984, when John Bond was manager. Brian Horton was City’s player-manager and took a chance on Payton. ‘The Padiham Predator’ would go on to play for Middlesbrough, Celtic, Barnsley and Huddersfield Town before returning to his hometown club. Chris Waddle brought him back to Turf Moor in a swap for Paul Barnes. He scored 27 league goals in our Second Division promotion-winning season in 1999/00. SATURDAY 4th JANUARY 1975 In one of the biggest FA Cup shocks in the history of the competition, Southern League Wimbledon travelled to Turf Moor and beat First Division Burnley 1-0. 15 Burnley FC: On This Day The Dons were 10,000/1 to lift the cup and no one gave Allen Batsford’s team a chance in this tie. The only goal came early in the second half. Ian Cooke broke clear. His effort was blocked by goalkeeper Alan Stevenson but Mick Mahon scored from the rebound. The Clarets dominated possession. They had all the chances but couldn’t find a way past inspirational stopper Dickie Guy. It was the first time a non-league club had won away from home at a top division side. The Dons were drawn away to Leeds United in the next round. Guy was in fine form again, saving a Peter Lorimer penalty. After a goalless draw at Elland Road, the Yorkshire side won a tight replay at Selhurst Park. SATURDAY 4th JANUARY 1992 Fourth Division Burnley held Derby County to a 2-2 draw at Turf Moor in their FA Cup third-round tie in 1992. When Martyn Chalk scored for the Rams after just 32 seconds it looked like it would be a long afternoon for the Clarets. Not so. Burnley were level after six minutes. John Francis used his pace to get behind the visitors’ defence. His cross was converted by Steve Harper at the near post. A crowd of almost 19,000 saw County take the lead again with just 13 minutes left. Ted McMinn, who would go on to play for Burnley, put in a cross that was dropped by Mark Kendall for Andy Comyn to pounce. Within four minutes Burnley had another equaliser. Mike Conroy’s cross was headed past Peter Shilton by Roger Eli. The replay was abandoned because of fog with Second Division Derby leading 2-0. In the next attempt, Arthur Cox’s side won 2-0 with goals from Paul Williams and Ian Ormondroyd. WEDNESDAY 5th JANUARY 1966 Burnley’s Gordon Harris made his England debut in a 1-1 draw with Poland at Wembley just five months before the 1966 World Cup was set to get under way. Harris had been in superb form for the Clarets in the 1965/66 season and deserved his call-up. Alf Ramsey played an experimental 4-3-3 formation, with Harris playing in an unfamiliar right-half role. Captain Bobby Moore scored a rare international goal with a late header that gave England a point. The England side was: Banks: Cohen, J Charlton, Moore, Wilson: Harris, Ball, Stiles: Baker, Hunt, Eastham. Sadly, it was the only international appearance for ‘Bomber’ Harris. Ramsey went with a ‘wingless wonders’ 4-4-2 formation and lifted the World Cup. Harris wasn’t even in the 22-man squad. 16 January SATURDAY 5th JANUARY 1980 Granada TV’s Kick Off cameras were at Turf Moor for this controversial FA Cup third-round tie. The Clarets were having a miserable season and would be relegated to the third tier for the first time in their illustrious history. The Potters were in the top flight and were odds-on favourites. 13,000 fans enjoyed a compelling cup tie which hit fever pitch in the 69th minute when referee Kevin McNally sent off Denis Smith in bizarre circumstances. It looked like City were set to make a change. Smith was limping but he told the visitors’ bench he was OK to continue. McNally thought it was time wasting and sent him off! Martin Dobson got the only goal from a dubious penalty. Stoke were down to nine men – Ray Evans had said something to the referee and was dismissed too. TUESDAY 5th JANUARY 2010 Owen Coyle left Turf Moor for Bolton Wanderers midway through Burnley’s first season in the top flight for 33 years. He had been linked with a move to Celtic immediately after the Championship play-off win against Sheffield United. For a Scot raised in the east end of Glasgow that might have been acceptable but Burnley fans were furious with his move to the Reebok. The 43-year-old played 54 times for the club in the mid-1990s, the only time the Republic of Ireland international played outside of Scotland.

  • Joey Beauchamp – the Player of a Generation
    Joey Beauchamp – the player of a generation My dad spoke about it evocatively, a moment of silence, a collective disbelief. In the split of a second your mind slows the world down to allow your brain to comprehend what you’ve seen, converting it into a physical reaction. It happened to him once, watching Wolves in the 1960s, a moment in a game where your perception of what’s possible and the reality of what you’ve seen leaves a silent, motionless gap. It lasts a nanosecond, but you can live in it for an eternity, even when it passes, fragments of your memory retain it. You can revisit it when you need a safe space. Physically, you move on, metaphysically, you can rest. I’ve been there twice; against Wrexham in 2009; we needed a goal deep into injury-time to sustain our unlikely promotion charge out of the Conference. The ball was worked out to Craig Nelthorpe. At the other end, Billy Turley theatrically threw himself to the turf, he couldn’t watch, but we didn’t need him anymore, it was now or it was never. Nelthorpe looped in a cross, James Constable leapt, straining every muscle. He connected, guiding the ball towards goal. It clipped the underside of the bar and dropped down behind the line. The forging of what you want and what you get. And there it was, that moment of disbelief, a glimpse of hyper-reality, that silence. And then, an eruption. But it was the first time that was most memorable and a moment that lives in the collective psyche of those who were there.

  • Reflections on the City–United Dynamic in and Around Manchester David Hand
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by E-space: Manchester Metropolitan University's Research Repository 12 Love thy neighbour or a Red rag to a Blue? Reflections on the City–United dynamic in and around Manchester David Hand I love Manchester United, they are great – I know because I watch them on Sky TV all the time. I once drove past Manchester on my way to a wedding … but I didn’t have time to get to a match … I love getting together with all my Man United supporter friends here in London to watch old videos of Bobby Charlton and George Best … I love all of Man United’s strips and I have bought them all for sitting in front of the telly … I once met a couple of blokes from Manchester but they supported a team called City … it’s unheard of someone from London would support City. I can’t understand why anyone would support a team that hasn’t won anything in years. Some people support a team just because they were born there – they must be mad! (MCIVTA, 2002) Any comprehensive coverage of the United phenomenon must eventually emulate the spoof Internet posting above and consider Manchester City. To an extent, the experience of City’s supporters in particular is defined (and lived) differentially in relation to what has latterly become the domineering presence of the United Other. The City–United dynamic is, therefore, a highly significant football and, indeed, social issue in Greater Manchester.

    EDICIÓN ESPECIAL LALA HORAHORA MÁSMÁS GLORIOSAGLORIOSA DELDEL FÚTBOLFÚTBOL ARGENTINOARGENTINO 86 Felices por lo que hicimos y por lo que haremos Cuando los hechos superan a las palabras, las palabras están de más. O, mejor dicho, NO ALCANZAN PARA PODER DECIRLO TODO. El Gráfico está tan feliz como todos los argentinos. Esta noche de histórico domingo, sentimos que su alma sonríe y en cada uno de los teclados, los periodistas que hacen El Gráfico deslizan su emoción. Es fácil en- tender que se trata de un día especial. En esta hora -en que queremos decirlo todo- NOS DAMOS CUENTA DE QUE SOLO HAY UNA MANE- RA DE EXPRESARNOS: brindar esta edición en la que volcamos con conceptos, fotos y testimonios EL DIA MAS GLORIOSO DEL FUTBOL ARGENTINO. Para nosotros no es el final de nada; acaso -¿por qué no confesarlo?- podría ser el comienzo de todo. Estamos felices por el triunfo de la Selección y, ya más calmados del primer impacto, estamos felices por todo cuanto hicimos desde el primer día del proceso, al que también podríamos llamar “La Era Menotti” o el “Operativo Mundial 78”. Si no dijéramos que hemos recibido muchas felicitaciones por nuestro trabajo antes y durante el Mundial seríamos insensibles. Nos gustó que nos reconocieran el esfuerzo (ojo, esfuerzo no es sacrificio), pero no encontrábamos la forma adecuada para el agradecimiento. Decir gra- cias es tan convencional como decir “es nuestra obligación”. Detrás de la obligación pusimos el alma del periodista. Y el alma del periodista es su amor, su pasión y su deseo. El Mundial nos obligó a todos los ar- gentinos a esforzarnos; El Gráfico cumplió su papel: durante este mes de junio realizamos las cuatro ediciones normales, más otras tres ediciones extras.
